Queensmill School is a co-educational special school for autistic children operating in London, England. The School is at 1 Askham Road, Shepherd's Bush.[1] This school was rated Inadequate by Ofsted in March 2022, following an inspection on 16 and 17 November 2021. Leadership and Management were also rated to be Inadequate. Ofsted stated arrangements for safeguarding were not effective and record keeping systems particularly around changes in pupils behaviour were weak. Policies around the administration of medication were also not working in practice.
Previously a community school administered by Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council, in June 2021 Queensmill School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by Queen Charlotte Education Special Trust.[2] They were issued a termination warning notice by the department of education on 21st April 2022.[3] Dame Kate Dethridge, Regional Schools Commissioner for North West London and South Central England, reported she will consider whether to terminate the funding agreement in order to transfer the academy to an alternative academy trust.
